Congenital muscular dystrophy with severe retrocollis and mental retardation: a report of two siblings.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two siblings with a congenital muscular dystrophy and severe mental retardation which was not due to dystrophin, merosin, or adhalin deficiency are described. These cases overlap with congenital muscular dystrophy of the Fukuyama-type but are less severe. Atypical features include limited facial involvement, retained ambulation, and severe retrocollis.

a genetic disease with an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance (1, 2). It is most common in Japanese patients and is the second most common form of muscular dystrophy in Japan, after Duchenne muscular dystrophy (2). FCMD causes severe mental retardation, seizures, muscular weakness soon after birth, and pathologic muscular changes that are consistent with muscular dystrophy. The typical clin...

Dystroglycanopathies are a heterogeneous group of diseases with a broad phenotypic spectrum ranging from severe disorders with congenital muscle weakness, eye and brain structural abnormalities and intellectual delay to adult-onset limb-girdle muscular dystrophies without mental retardation. Most frequently the disease onset is congenital or during childhood. The exception is FKRP mutations, in...

Muscle-eye-brain disease (MEB) is an autosomal recessive disease of unknown etiology characterized by severe mental retardation, ocular abnormalities, congenital muscular dystrophy, and a polymicrogyria-pachygyria-type neuronal migration disorder of the brain. A similar combination of muscle and brain involvement is also seen in Walker-Warburg syndrome (WWS) and Fukuyama congenital muscular dys...
